"Those are all rumors, don’t take them seriously."
Although he said this, the corners of Cheng Liusha’s mouth were full of smiles.
Seeing this, Chen Bin continued to butter him up.
"Secretary Zeng is about to leave Yanxi, and I’ve long heard of your capabilities, so this position of Provincial Committee Secretary is destined for you!"
"You can’t say that, there are many talented people in Yanxi, many of whom are more suitable to be the secretary than me."
"Many people on our side have retired, and I’ve heard that even the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department will step down this year."
"Are you talking about Xiao Cong? I’ve met him a few times, and his writing style is quite impressive."
"Governor Cheng, what do you think about me taking over as the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department after Mr. Xiao steps down?"
At this moment, Cheng Liusha understood Chen Bin’s motive and nodded directly.
"Although you are a bit young and your seniority is lacking, you are very capable, and I think you can definitely fulfill the role of Minister Xiao."
In his opinion, he did not know many people since coming to Yanxi.
If Chen Bin could become the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department, it would only be beneficial, not detrimental, to him.
"Thank you, Secretary Cheng, for your affirmation of me."
Chen Bin’s mood also settled greatly at this moment.
After all, with Zeng Pengchao and Cheng Liusha supporting him, the position of Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department was almost a sure thing.
Cheng Liusha quickly waved his hand, "Hey, what Secretary, call me Governor!"
"That’s just a matter of time, I’ll get familiar with it in advance."
Saying this, Chen Bin actively picked up his glass.
"Secretary Cheng, let me toast to you!"
Cheng Liusha did not continue to correct him in this regard.
Instead, he picked up his glass and clinked it with Chen Bin’s.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with the young man in front of him.
In mid-May, Jingshang Taiyi came to Tianhai again.
His goal was very clear, which was to win over Yan Kangli!
To this end, Chen Bin also planned to assist.
That day, he directly called Yan Kangli to his office.
"Do you have time tonight? A friend of mine is visiting Tianhai, let’s have dinner together in the evening."
"I’m free tonight. Just give me a call when you go."
The reason Yan Kangli agreed so straightforwardly was that she felt indebted to Chen Bin for recognizing her talent.
And she also understood that Chen Bin had no interest in her.
At this moment, Chen Bin asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend now?"
"Not yet. You’re not planning to set me up again, are you?"
In Yan Kangli’s view, Chen Bin’s taste was not impressive.
Last time he even tried to match her with Tao Qian.
A man like Tao Qian, who was played by Lan Hui, cannot be considered no matter how good he is.
Chen Bin asking again this time made her think he was probably trying to introduce another unreliable man.
Feeling a bit awkward about being asked, Chen Bin hurriedly explained.
"No, I was just casually asking. After all, as a leader, it’s normal to care about employees’ matters."
"Matters of romance depend on fate, don’t you think?"
"That’s true. So what I want to say is, if you find someone good, don’t miss the chance."
That evening, at a high-end restaurant, Jingshang Taiyi finally met the long-awaited Yan Kangli.
Yan Kangli did not expect that Chen Bin’s friend would be someone from Japan and so unattractive.
Because Yan Kangli was not very fluent in English, Chen Bin acted as a temporary translator.
During dinner, Chen Bin spoke a lot of good things about Jingshang Taiyi.
The purpose was to increase his appeal.
In the following days, Chen Bin told Yan Kangli that he was busy with work and asked her to accompany Jingshang Taiyi around Tianhai.
Romance is a matter between two people, and only by giving them enough private space can the sparks of love fly.
Just as Chen Bin was working hard to match Yan Kangli with Jingshang Taiyi, Tao Qian found him.
"Godfather, Lan Hui has successfully completed her plastic surgery; here’s her photo."
Chen Bin took the phone handed by the other party, looked closely, and found no trace of the previous appearance.
With the plastic surgery completed, the next step was to get legal documents.
This kind of thing was not difficult for Chen Bin.
In just a week, everything was settled.
Lan Hui’s new identity was called Xi Kaili.
Just as Chen Bin planned to arrange for Tao Qian to go to Maple Country, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Cong.
"Come to my office quickly, be fast!"
Chen Bin felt it should be something important and immediately replied.
"Okay, I’ll be right there."
Upon arriving at Xiao Cong’s office, he immediately asked, "Mr. Xiao, what’s going on?"
Xiao Cong stared intently into Chen Bin’s eyes, his expression extremely serious.
"Did you offend Secretary Li somewhere?"
Chen Bin didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this, but he would definitely not mention the matter between him and Hao Wenjing.
Shaking his head, Chen Bin showed a puzzled expression.
"Secretary Li wants to transfer you out of the provincial station."
This news made Chen Bin’s heart sink, and he immediately asked, "Why?"
"He said you’ve been at the TV station for too long, and you should be moved to another place."
Ever since Li Lu fell ill last time, Xiao Cong had noticed that the relationship between him and Chen Bin had become somewhat subtle.
Moreover, Xiao Cong also found that no matter what he said to Li Lu, the latter would always remain calm.
Until the name Chen Bin was mentioned, Li Lu seemed to change completely.
His emotions started to fluctuate, and everything he said revealed dissatisfaction with Chen Bin.
"Mr. Xiao, where does Secretary Li plan to arrange me?"
"He wants you to be a Political Consultative Conference Chairman in a prefecture-level city."
Chen Bin’s goal was very clear; he wanted to be on the Provincial Committee Standing Committee and become the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department.
Being a Political Consultative Conference Chairman or even a City Party Secretary would not be satisfactory for him.
Li Lu evidently understood this point, so he thought of transferring Chen Bin away, assigning him to an idle position.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin said to Xiao Cong in a deliberately relaxed tone.
"Mr. Xiao, you really don’t need to worry too much. As a department-level cadre, my job transfer isn’t something any individual can decide."
Sighing, Xiao Cong ultimately suggested.
"I think if there’s any misunderstanding between you and Secretary Li, it’s best to sit down and have a good talk. There’s no need for this." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs noveⅼfire.net
"Alright, I’ll meet with him after I have some free time in a few days. But no matter what, I hope you can continue to support me."
Nodding, Xiao Cong said seriously.
"I will definitely support you. You’re a talent, and I have peace of mind handing over my position to you."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Xiao."
After leaving Xiao Cong’s office, Chen Bin frowned deeply.
He and Li Lu had reached a point where reconciliation was no longer possible.
He must find a way to bring him down quickly, or else this guy would become a hidden danger sooner or later...
